Abstract
A number of models of ventricular dynamics are discussed from the point of view of understanding the function of the heart and possible methods of diagnosis and treatment. In particular, work at Rutgers University, including studies of a variety of models, has been presented. These models include an hydraulic pressure source model, an ellipsoided shell model and a segmented shell model. Some of these models are interacted with each other to provide further insight into the use of models in understanding the physiology of the heart.
